country n news-boost the web

COUNTRY N NEWS-BOOST THE WEB
about 3 years ago i wrote this blogclick on the link here
on how to get an improved cell signal here at the county n

my two brothers were here
one had sprint
one had att
we had verizon

so we walked around the house and the property
comparing our signals
the final analysis was that
none of us got good reception

the problem of living in a bowl with towers too far away
so
we added this web booster device that worked for awhile
then it just seemed to not work well anymore

since that time i have learned a lot
i learned to find where the tower was for our service company
verizon
which it seems works best for this area
i located it two ways
going on the internet after googling
cell phone towers for verizon
then
i drove my car around with my cell phone
watching my bar graph
when it hit five bars and lte mode
i knew i was sitting next to our tower

so
i drove home
got on our upper deck
raised my phone as high as i could
moved it around until i located the strongest signal
a 4 bar signal

now
we had gotten down to a 2 bar in the living room
a no bar in the kitchen and a back bed room
a no bar on the stairs

now we have three choices for internet service
a dish satellite
a satellite company like hughesnet or wildblue etc
a verizon card
we settled on the card thats called a jetpack
so here we sat with areas of no service in the house
an internet connection that comes and goes
so
i researched the internet again
i wandered back to the same company we had used before
then
researched which one i needed
here is the linkwww.weboost.com

then
i called the friendly real english speaking person who was
quite helpful
then
i ordered it
note
you can buy it at stores like walmart and best buy
i personally liked dealing with a real person who knew
what they were talking about

so
i hooked it up
the outside antenna thingy looked to me like
a madonna bra thing she use to wear
you point it towards the tower thats yours
then
clamp it on the side of the roof
run the cable to the inside of the house to a booster
which
you got it
boosts the signal throughout the house
eg
as i sit her writing this
my verizon card shows 5 bars
my cell phone shows 4 bars

now our neighbor has one also
but
he doesnt have as good a direct view of the tower as i do
sorry
our two story house and trees block the view for him

but
for us it has solved our cell phone reception issue
and our internet issue
but
i sure enjoy it though when we visit someone
hook up to their internet
then
watch things move much faster on our computers
